Release SquarePants v1r3: “Hurrah!” After numerous iterations my monospaced pixel typeface is now finally ready! SquarePants Next is—of course—fully scaleable but optimized for on-screen use at 12 point size.

Release SquarePants Next v1: User feedback plus small details that might be considered inconsistencies were addressed in this fresh redesign.

Release SquarePants Next Micro v1: By just moving one pixel at a time (with only five pixels for the x-height and letter width) SquarePants Next Micro took shape. It is astonishing to see how far one can push the contours of the glyphs to sometimes weird graphics, but still make us think we’re reading roman characters! Bitmapping as an act of mindfulness and a useful training in managing contrast! 🔤🙏👀



With more than 200(!) glyphs SquarePants Next Micro contains a full Google Fonts Basic character set. Use this fine monospaced font to:

• imitate the time-honoured look of typewriters
• create simple tables
• compose plain emails
• write computer code
• go back to the 80s 👍

Now add that retro look to your typographic palette and get your copy here. Built in the Netherlands with enjoyment! 😍
